International Open Data Hack Day
by Aude 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

On Saturday, Dec 3 at the MLK Jr Library, there will be a hackathon with focus on open data, including anything related to wiki data. http://opendatahackdc.eventbrite.com/ Some wiki-related ideas could include: * working on a way to get the 2000 census data, in so many articles, updated * making use of data sources like data.worldbank.org or from the federal government (e.g. BLS) to make maps, populate infoboxes, etc. * working with the National Register of Historic Places data, possibly in preparation for doing more Wikis Take DC / Baltimore events or Wiki Loves Monuments here * working with the Smithsonian Art Inventories data - http://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ for WikiProject Public Art * importing DC GIS data (more buildings) into OpenStreetMap -- no technical skills required * do you have any additional suggestions? Not all projects need to be wiki-related or uber-technical, though we also need skilled hackers and designers on Saturday. Cheers, Katie

Glad to hear a vacancy has been filled -- Kristin, thank you for stepping up! Also, many thanks to Bob for all he has done to develop Wikimedia DC and the Wikimania bid. -Pete On Nov 13, 2011, at 4:32 PM, Sarah Stierch wrote: From: Kirill Lokshin <kirill.lokshin(a)wikidc.org> Date: Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 6:27 PM Subject: [WikiDC] Board of Directors appointments and departures To: WikiDC Internal Mailing List <wikidc-internal(a)googlegroups.com>, Wikimedia DC Mailing List <wikimedia-dc(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Everyone, Today, the Board of Directors appointed Kristin Anderson to fill the seat previously held by Dan Rosenthal. Many of you will no doubt know Kristin from her work with the Wikimania planning process, where she has held an active role since the time of our initial bid. Kristin will serve on the Board until the next scheduled election, which will take place in September. Separately, the Board has, with great regret, accepted the resignation of Robert Platt. We are grateful to Bob for all the assistance he has provided to our chapter, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Because of Bob's departure, there is again a vacancy on the Board, and we would like to appoint someone to fill it in the near future. Anyone interested in serving is invited to submit their name for consideration. Kirill -- Kirill Lokshin Secretary | Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org | @wikimediadc
